Eric Gautier, Manager	HOME YOU ARE HERE Billing Information Medicare If you are covered by Medicare, we will submit your claims to Medicare on your behalf. After Medicare makes its payment, we will bill your supplemental insurance carrier for the remaining balance. If you do not have supplemental insurance, you will be responsible for the balance. Medi-Cal Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program, a medical assistance program for low-income residents funded by the state and federal government. If you are covered under this program, please provide an eligibility card or other proof of eligibility for each month of service. Self-Pay If you do not have insurance or if you are seeking care that's not covered by your insurance plan, you are considered a self-pay patient. Payment is required in full at time of service. Injured Workers If you are an injured worker and are being seen for your work related injury, you or your employer must provide your workers compensation insurance information at the time of your first visit-including the adjusters name and contact numbers, as well as, the accepted injury/claim numbers. Personal Injury/Lien Patients We accept personal injury lien cases. If you have been referred by an attorney for injuries suffered in a auto accident or personal injury of another nature, you must complete the forms provided at reception at the time of registration, including the authorization by you for our office to place a lien on your case settlement. This will allow you to be treated and then the responsible party to be billed at the conclusion of your treatment. If you do not wish to handle your personal injury treatment payment in this fashion you will be required to become a "Self-Pay" patient type. If you have Auto Insurance with Medical Payment coverage, we are able to bill your insurance directly, if you provide the insurance carrier and claim number information regarding your accident/injury. QME/SSI Evaluation Patients If you have an appointment for a QME evaulation with the doctor you must be prompt for the lenghty appointment which will be scheduled on a week day at 10:30 or 11:00am. Your appointment will be paid for by your workers compensation insurance. If you fail to appear for your QME appointment your insurance will be billed for a missed appointment and this will eventually be taken out of your settlement, so it is in your best interest to be sure to be present for all of your workers compensation medical appointments. If you are appointed for a SSI disability evaluation, payment is expected at the time of the appointment and you may contact Eric on our staff for further information regarding this type of appointment. Please note we do not accept cheques. Payment At time of service we require payment in full of the cost of services rendered. You may pay by way of either cash or credit card. We accept all major Credit Cards but DO NOT accept cheques.
